DOGFISH HEAD: RAISON D'ETRE
At 8% ABV, this one packs a punch, but you don't really taste the alcohol, this beer is nice. The Dogfish Head site describes this beer as:
A deep, mahogany ale brewed with beet sugar, green raisins, and Belgian-style yeast. As complex as a fine, red wine. Voted "American Beer of the Year" in January 2000 by Malt Advocate Magazine
Very malty with a good amount of taste to it. I wanted to try to chew at it. If it was in some sort of solid form, it would make a good snack. I've never had any of them real Belgians, but this one uses the same yeast and from what I've read, the results aren't exactly what a real Belgian is supposed to taste like, but that don't matter to me.
Available at The Foodery right now, this is a year round brew.

It's tasty in the bottle, but incredible on tap at the brewery in Rehoboth.
